    Driveshaft Question, need help for drag/daily

    I got the 1st single piece aluminum DS from Shaftmasters...Piratetip got the 1st one for the R-154. Read the reviews here: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58990 Quality piece...NO vibrations at all...I'm sure a steel single piece will be to the same standard.

    power steering issues

    You take the return line and extend it to a bucket...you will need a helper. Crank the car, run for about 10 sec, and start pouring ATF into the reservoir...turn the steering wheel back and forth a couple times. When the line flow going to the bucket turns bright red, you are done. Hook...

    spitting, stalling under boost, help?

    Check you codes as suggested...I'm betting a code 34 (fuel cut) pops up. if it does, and you have not shimmed the turbo for more boost, you have a boost leak somewhere ;)

    power steering issues

    Ditto on using Dex III ATF and cleaning the reservoir screen. The PS is self bleeding. Adding a Magnafine inline filter to the return line is a good idea too ;) http://www.emergingent.com/magnefine/order_page.htm

    Cometic MHG problems

    I've never done that, but don't see why it would not work...when you re-use a MHG, you do exactly the same thing. You remove the rivets, clean all the old viton off to bare metal, and re-spray with copper sealant to replace the viton. You would want to remove center layers of the MHG...

    poping out dents?

    Don't use a heat gun...just the opposite. Get some dry ice and apply to the center of the dent. Be careful, you don't want to freeze your fingers ;) It looks like a small crease at the top of the dent...it might not work because of that.

    Warm at the top cold at the bottom

    If your temp gauge is at the halfway point from an idle warm-up, I'd check to be sure that new T-stat is not sticking shut. Cut the jiggle valve off it while you're at it and make sure the hole is at 12 o'clock.

    what are the differences between a 7mgte fuel pressure regulator and a 7mge fpr

    ^^^ Makes sense...the online TSRM is for a 1990 and matches my '89 TSRM ;)

    RPM Gauge issues.

    "7M" includes both the NA and turbo...if you can't provide specifics, there is no point in trying to help. In this thread you say it's a 2JZ-GE to T...that is a turbo motor. What is it? http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=86184 One more time...is this a NA or turbo tach...

    what are the differences between a 7mgte fuel pressure regulator and a 7mge fpr

    The NA and turbo FPR's are different...the TRSM shows different pressure ranges for each: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FI&P=73 You may or may not have a problem running a NA FPR on a turbo motor...note the ranges overlap w/ vac off and the pressure is higher...

    Guages not Working

    Been said a few times now ;) A fuse is used to protect wiring from a short that would otherwise cause the wire to heat up and burn through...this could easily start a fire. Even an intermittent short will pop a fuse. As stated, you should never "rig" or replace a fuse with a higher Amp...

    RPM Gauge issues.

    Ummm...wrong. The tachometer signal is generated by the igniter on the turbo motor. Was this an NA to T swap? Edit: I see this is a 2J-GTE on 7M electronics...is this a 7M-GTE igniter? And is the tach gauge from a 7M-GTE cluster? You really need to provide more info vs assuming we...
